No, Hitler wasn't a socialist. He was a fascist. Why people get confused on the issue is because those that simply look at the names of historical items, rather than examining their context, see the word "socialist" in the official name of the Nazi party, and presume that they are socialists as we...

People did want out of it; but the government was trying to figure out how to do it.
